LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

A hill passed the house prohibiting
the running Of freight trains on Sun
day.
Maj. HOrd, commissioner of agri-
culture, has appointed S. E. Cunning
ham, of White county, assistant COM
missioner for Middle Tennessee, and
the American again is not pleased.
That paper, it seems, is not run by
scientific democrats
In the house. Mr.. Williams intro.
duced resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, so as to provide that
the senate shall be composed of two
senators from each state, to be elected
by the people in the same manner as
members of the house of representa-.
tives.
A bill has passed the house PEN
Sioning all Confederate soldiers who
lost both eyes while in the service. 1t
allows them S25 a month. The re,
publicans voting :or it were Gamble,
Harrington, Hasslock and Littleton.
We take back all we have ever said
against Littleton. He has shown
himself to be a man in this case, and
not mere partisan.
We are indebted to DR.. j. B. Jones,
medical superintendent of construction
of the West Tennessee Hospital for
the Insane, for copy of the first an,
nual report Of the building commits.
sioners. From this we learn that
there are five hundred insane people
in West Tennessee, confined in jails
or cared for by friends. These all
need treatment in an asylum, where
probably one-third to one half could
he cured. The commissioners have
adopted plans AMI begun to construct
buildings to accommodate three hun
dred comfortably. The foundations
have been laid and the work will be
pressed forward to completion as soon
as possible. The huildlngwlll consist of
six separate buildings-a main build,
ing, No. l, and four wards, mum bered
2, 3, 4, and 5, two on each side of
building No. l, and joined to it and to
each other by 6re-proof towers.
Building No. 6 is the kitchen, laun
dry, boiler-roOms, etc. The cost of
each one of the buildings, aud the
cost of heating, water supply, and
lightiog of the whole building are
given separately in the tabulated syn
opsis in architects report. The sum>
mary in said report shows that the
amount required to complete the Asy-
lum, according to plans, will be $780,
600, or $3.50, 900 more than the pres
ent appropriation available for build
ing purposes. The commissioners al.
so have an option on 200 acres of land
adjoining, at $40 per acre, which will
be needed to supply the institution
with food and provender, thus saving
great expense in purchasing. We
sincerely hope that the legislature
will make appropriations sufficient to
complete this great and good work,
and we believe it will be money eco
nOmically and we'll invested.

WON'T WE BE SORRYg

"Well then, replied tie dealer, we
will pull up and leave the state and
take our capital with US, sell out eur
personal and real estate, bank stocks
and stocks of every kind and 60 into
business elsewhere. The amount OF
capital inves.ed in the liquor business
in the state is estimated at from $6,-
100000 to 81 100000. Then the
liquor men pay the state an annual Ii.
cense of about $3.50, 900" The above
is the statement of a wholesale liquor
dealer in Memphis, and will it not
pain our hearts to see such amount Of
business leave .he state =? Ask the

mourning, and sing sad songs, as this
poor liquor dealer starts out of the

picks up and starts. Ask all the
Sabbath schools if they will not Join
in the procession, and look sad, and
sing, "What friend we lose in Jesus,
All our griets and sorrows share"
Ask all the preachers if they can't
fall in, and weep over this, their
friend, whose business has helped them
in elevating the morals of their stale.
Ask the sextOLs Of all the churches
to fall in, and silence the bells, and
keep dark the church houses, foy their
friend is about to depart from the
state. Ask the governor and both
houses to fall into line aud help us
weep, for @e are going to lose $780,.
900. Sad, sad, procession it will be-
when any state Of the union has to
follow their liquor dealers out Of it to
engage in business some where else.
Let US have the funeral dirge, aud all
weep like an exiled Israel by the wa
ters Of Babylon. Won't we weep
over the Sl50,000, as we look about
US, and find that we won't. have to
try but about half of the criminals,
made SO by whisky, Cor our poor deal.
